you need to set "transfer-source" to the virtual host you're listening on.
the default is 0.0.0.0 which tells the kernel to "come from" the interface
which is closest to the master server, which will be a real ip address
rather than the virtual host address you're actually listening on.

there's no fix for this since named can be listening on multiple addresses.
you just have to specify it in your "zone ... slave" statements on vhosts.
